Hendo was right he won that fight.. As much damage Machida did countering, and the damage he did when he pulled gaurd, he never took the offensive, he never tried to finish Hendo, or even attempt more then 1 or 2 times to get to a position to finish the fight. <br /><br />They need there own judges, Yes this is "a fight", but if it was a fight off of the mats, there is NO winner if someone has not tapped or knocked out. If it goes to decision, it has to be who actually did more, who wanted to win more. You should not be able to win a decision by running and avoiding the other fighter like a bitch, and countering every 5-6 attempts of the other fighter. <br /><br />That fight was by far one of the worst fights, and most annoying fights I had ever watched. If I was Dana, I know what he said about the winner getting a shot at the belt, in no way does Machida deserve a shot after stealing money like he did running like a bitch for 12 of 15 mins. I dont wanna see that for 21 of 25 against Jones or anyone.

machida has no problems selling ppv's. look up his sales if you want. they are fine. chael has never sold anything outside of a silva fight, and of course there will be big buys for an undeserved title fight against Jones. Outside of that, he hasn't sold shit. LOok at Machida's last 5 or 6 ppvs. all around 500,000+ Machida's drawing power is not a problem, it is a myth. In fact, Machida drew better against shogun than jones, and nearly the same against rampage. Look at Machida headlined cards here. not too bad, if you ask me:

I 2nd this. Why chat about a fight tat may or may not be offered to you after a fight in which you are an enormous under dog. I think an, "I hope to fae tat decision post Jones, but we'll see" would be more appropriate.

check out ufc 136 where Sonnen was co-main event. 225k. one of the worst selling ppv's of the past 5 years. lol

the headliner was edgar maynard III...

Aldo Florian were also on it. im pretty sure people are allowed to buy a card for fights that are not the main event. the point is Chael sonnen doesn't necessarily get sales if the circumstances aren't just right for him.

You can't seriously look at Machida's numbers and make a valid point that he doesn't sell. Frankie Edgar and Gray Maynard don't sell. Matt Hamill and Thiago Silva couldn't sell main events against guys who typically pull good numbers. Dan Henderson doesn't sell well as a headliner. Lyoto Machida is none of those guys.
